ACR Lung Cancer Screening Center

We are proud to be a newly designated Lung Cancer Screening Center by the American College of Radiology. As a research institution heavily involved in the National Lung Screening Trial we believed early on that low dose lung cancer screening CT had the potential to save many lives and this designation allows our community to know of our commitment to providing this screening service at the highest quality standards of the profession.
